تحليل و بررسي همپوشي سياست خارجي جمهوري اسلامي ايران در تعامل با جمهوري آذربايجان با واقعيتهاي ژيوپليتيك

An Analysis of the Overlapping Areas of Geopolitical Realities in the Foreign Policies of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan

پژوهش حاضر با طرح يك سوال اصلي، دو فرضيه و با ارايه يك بررسي و تحليل ژيوپليتيك، سياست خارجي ايران در قبال جمهوري آذربايجان را بر اساس برخي از مهمترين واقعيتهاي ژيوپليتيك و جغرافيايي موجود بين دو كشور، بررسي و نقد مي كند. پژوهش حاضر به اين نتيجه رسيده است كه سياست عدم سازش جمهوري آذربايجان و تا حدودي عدم استراتژي مدون و هدفمند از طرف جمهوري اسلامي ايران باعث شده است تا واقعيتهاي ژيوپليتيك و جغرافيايي مثبت و پيونددهنده، نظير همسايگي، اشتراك مذهبي، تجانس جمعيتي، منافع مشترك، وابستگيهاي جغرافيايي و ژيوپليتيك و اشتراكات فرهنگي و تاريخي و ... به حد كافي نتوانند روابط نزديكي بين طرفين ايجاد كنند. همچنين يافته هاي تحقيق نشان مي دهد كه هر چند اين مساله تا حدودي از طرف ايران با توجه به مواضع تند ناسيوناليستي و پافشاري بر سياست عدم سازش از سوي آذري ها قابل درك مي باشد، اما جمهوري آذربايجان در مورد استراتژي سياست خارجي خود در قبال جمهوري اسلامي ايران، هيچ دليل منطقي و واقع بينانه اي كه بتوان سياست عدم سازش اين جمهوري را براساس آن قابل توجيه كرد، تاكنون ارايه نكرده است. در نهايت، پژوهش حاضر هدف كلي و استراتژي ذيل را براي سياست خارجي ايران در مقابل جمهوري آذربايجان پيشنهاد مي كند: هدف كلي: سياست خارجي جمهوري اسلامي ايران در تعامل با جمهوري آذربايجان براساس واقعيتهاي ژيوپليتيك و جغرافيايي موجود بين دو كشور پايه ريزي شود، استراتژي: توسعه روابط متقابل براساس حسن همجواري از طريق آگاهي و درك درست از وابستگيهاي متقابل ژيوپليتيك، علايق ژيوپليتيك، اهداف و منافع ملي مشترك و علايق ساير بازيگران موثر در روابط فيمابين، همچنين اعتمادسازي به سمت تقويت و تعميق روابط و سياست خارجي دو كشور براساس واقعيتهاي ژيوپليتيك.

The present Research has surveyed the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran vis-à-vis the Republic of Azerbaijan. Based on some of the most important geographical and geopolitical realities that exist between the two states, by presenting one main question and two hypotheses, used as guide into a thorough geopolitical assessment of the issue. Based on the findings, we come to this conclusion that the none-cordial disposition of the Republic of Azerbaijan towards Iran, and some of the uncharted pasturings and unspecified strategies by the Islamic Republic of Iran render ineffective so many positively positoned areas of common geographical and/or geopolitical interests such as territorial contiguity, common religious tendency (both Shiite), common ethnicity, common economic interests (agricultural and irrigation possibilities), common cultural and historical backgrounds. Unfortunately, the continued policies between the two states have further made all these possibilities to render ineffective. The main outcome of the research shows that some of the issue are resultant from a suspected nationalistic disposition on the part of the Iranians; and similarly, a persistent attitude of none cordiality from the Azeris. Moreover, the Republic of Azerbaijan has yet to present a logical and pragmatic reason to explain its negative diplomatic strategy against the Islamic Republic of Iran That could justify its distrustful policy towards iran. The research consequently has proposed the following general aims and strategies to be implemented in Iran’s faring policy towards the Republic of Azerbaijan: General aim: the faring policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in relation to the Republic of Azerbaijan is determined by geographical and geopolitical realities that exist between the two states. Strategy: to develop mutual relations based on the need for neighborly dispositions, to understand the geopolitical dictates of time and space, common national interests and aims,economic cooperation,and to explore other avenues that would develop mutual trust in order to broaden cooperation between the two states.
